Abstract
Provided herein are rapid and effective local infection therapy methods, systems, and devices that significantly reduce the mortality, morbidity, and the cost of care in rare musculoskeletal infections. Continuous delivery of antibiotic therapy locally, at the infection site, reduces edema and provides antibiotic irrigation, significantly improving outcomes while reducing the need for systemic antibiotics.
